It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Del Reid at the age of 95.
Del was born in Winnipeg to Richard and Doris Reid and was the middle of three sons, between his brothers, Ralph (Jean) and Richard (Lois).
He was the beloved husband of the late Irene Reid, with whom he shared 69 wonderful years of marriage.
To celebrate Del’s life, he is lovingly remembered by his children, Colleen (Peter) and Jeff (Natasha); grandchildren, Brendan (Morena), Corrina (Marc), Jeffrey, Justin, Alicia (Jordan) and Torrie (Chris); and six great-grandchildren, Halle, Lila, Ayden, Olivia, Thatcher and Hudson.
Del was a proud Winnipeg Firefighter for 39 years. He started his career in 1951, and along the way earned many promotions, retiring as Assistant Deputy Chief in 1990.
Outside of work, Del and Irene found joy in travelling together, especially during their cherished winters in Arizona. Summers were spent at their beloved cottage on Falcon Lake, where Del was often seen puttering about, lending a hand to neighbours and friends, or enjoying golfing, water skiing, and boating. His presence brought life to the cabin, creating memories that will be treasured for our family and friends.
Spending time with family and friends was deeply important to Del. His warm, sociable nature made it easy for him to connect with others, and he truly cherished those relationships. He rarely missed a chance to support his grandchildren, often driving across the city and province to cheer them on at hockey and soccer games. Del will be remembered as a kind, gentle, patient, and generous soul whose presence brought comfort and joy to those around him. He will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Please join us in celebrating Del’s life at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, December 5, 2025 at Meadowood United Church, 1111 Dakota Street in Winnipeg.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Manitoba Firefighters Burn Fund or a charity of your choice.
